World War II transformed the state of Georgia and its people. In joining the war effort,
Georgians embraced a struggle that united the nation economically, socially, and,
to a great extent, politically. Yet, change was experienced differently by different
people and places across the state. Georgia Goes to War takes a regional and thematic approach to telling the story of the impact of World
War II.
In each of six sections, encounter "before," "during" and "after" stories which open
windows into the transformative power of the war and view iconic images of wartime
Georgia to consider thought-provoking questions about the impact of the war on the
state, the nation, and the world. In addition, "Meet History Face to Face" through
portable biographies of individuals whose lives intersected with the places and events
chronicled in the exhibit's sections.
